During his lengthy interview with El Chapo, Sean was able to speak to one of the world's most wanted men about his childhood, experience fleeing from authorities as well as his responsibility in the drug battle.

While El Chapo was ultimately captured days before the article was published, many were quick to criticize the article and Sean's determination to speak with the criminal.

"My article should not have made this much noise," he explained. "El Chapo should not have been this popular a figure to read about."

But when Charlie began to share what many critics were saying—that this was all about Sean's "ego" and that he's an adventurer that "likes being in the center of this"—Sean denied the allegations.

"I absolutely accept that they feel that way," he shared. "No, they're not right."

Sean admitted that he has not heard from anyone in the cartel. Instead, he made it clear that people should be concerned with the state of journalism today.

"I can get angry—like many people can. I'm really sad about the state of journalism in our country," he said. "It has been an incredible hypocrisy and an incredible lesson in just how much they don't know and how disserved we are."

He added, "Again, journalists who want to say that I'm not a journalist. Well, I want to see the license that says that they're a journalist."
